30. Collected Essays on Philosophy, Science, Aesthetics and Psychology 1884–1901: A Unified View of Nature and the Limits of Knowledge 15 Jul 1893,

Rudolf Steiner
The right and left, the top and bottom, the red next to the green in my field of vision are in reality in uninterrupted connection and mutual togetherness. However, we can only look in one direction and only perceive what is connected in nature separately.
343. Foundation Course: Spiritual Discernment, Religious Feeling, Sacramental Action: Ordination and Transubstantiation 03 Oct 1921, Dornach
Tr. Hanna von Maltitz

Rudolf Steiner
They had no sensual experience of the colour blue, they had much more of a sense developed towards the other side, towards vital colours, red and so on, so that for the Greeks blue appeared more green than it is for us today. From this point of view, one must understand everything as the ancients did.
339. On The Art of Lecturing: Lecture V 15 Oct 1921, Dornach
Tr. Maria St. Goar, Peter Stebbing, Beverly Smith, Fred Paddock

Rudolf Steiner
And for that I have formulated the following exercise. One should picture a sizable green frog that sits in front of him with its mouth open. In other words, one should imagine that one confronts a giant frog with an open mouth.
57. The Bible and Wisdom 12 Nov 1908, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
If today anybody wanted to put together a Bible from the different pieces and fragments from which one thought that it must be composed, if anybody printed with blue letters everything that one counts among one document, with red letters what among a second, with green letters what among a third and so on, then a strange document would originate. However, it has already come about—the so-called Rainbow Bible!
83. The Tension Between East and West: Cosmic Memory 05 Jun 1922, Vienna
Tr. B. A. Rowley

Rudolf Steiner
Thus, a sympathetic thought, for example the verdict: “Yes indeed, the tree is green,” does in fact induce a state of heat, whereas a thought in which antipathy is present, a negative judgment for example, has a chilling effect on our air-heat substance.
80b. The Threshold In Nature and In Man 01 Feb 1921, Basel
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
For the Greek this kind of inner activity did not yet exist. Just as we get red, green, G, C sharp from sense-perception, so did he get the thoughts too from the external world. He had not yet the independence that comes from the comprehension of self.
162. The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil: Tree of Knowledge I 07 Aug 1915, Dornach
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Actually they pictured, that is they experienced 'red' or 'green' or any other colour as flowing current. Try to conceive this vividly: blue = flowing current; red = flowing current; conceive, too, of the other sense-experiences in the same way—streaming, but only in time, letting no real spatial concept, intermingle ... we can say: at the transition from Moon- to Earth-existence one can feel how the mere time-quality was yoked into the spatial.
181. Anthroposophical Life Gifts: Lecture VII 21 May 1918, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The second part is to give Goethe's thoughts about his Faust, and the third part some development of thoughts on the “Fairytale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.” I mention this because I wish to draw your attention to the fact that it is really necessary to grasp with penetrative thoughts what is contained in the spiritual substance of humanity—also as regards the past; that we should take seriously what is to be found there.
28. The Story of My Life: Chapter I
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
It was as if the mountains rose up out of the all-surrounding green of the friendly landscape. On the distant boundaries of the circle one had the majesty of the peaks, and close around the tenderness of nature.
214. Oswald Spengler, Prophet of World Chaos: Oswald Spengler I 06 Aug 1922, Dornach
Tr. Norman MacBeth, Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
Indeed this sleep-nature of the plant has even some highly interesting qualities: “The thrusting of the first green spears out of the winter-earth, the swelling of the buds, the whole force of blossoming, of fragrance, of glowing, of ripening—this is all desire for the fulfilment of a destiny and a constantly yearning query as to the Why.”
